E A E
Oh, my name it is nothin'
A E
My age it means less
A E
The country I come from
A E
Is called the Midwest
A E
It's taught and brought up there
A E
The laws to abide
A E
And that land that I live in
A G#m B E
Has God on it's side.
E A E
Oh, the history books tell it
A E
They tell it so well
A E
The cavalries charged
A E
The Indians fell
A E
The cavalries charged
A E
The Indians died
A E
Oh, the country was young
A G#m B E
With God on it's side.
E A E
Oh, the Spanish-American
A E
War had it’s day
A E
And the Civil War too
A E
Was soon laid away
A E
And the names of the heroes
A E
I's made to memorize
A E
With guns in their hands
A G#m B E
And God on it's side.
E A E
Oh, the First World War, boys
A E
It closed out its fate
A E
The reason for fighting
A E
I never got straight
A E
But I learned to accept it
A E
Accept it with pride
A E
For you don't count the dead
A G#m B E
When Gods on it's side.
E A E
When the Second World War
A E
Came to an end
A E
We forgave the Germans
A E
And we were friends
A E
Though they murdered six million
A E
In the ovens they fried
A E
The Germans now too
A G#m B E
Have God on it's side.
E A E
I've learned to hate Russians
A E
All through my whole life
A E
If another war starts
A E
It's them we must fight
A E
To hate them and fear them
A E
To run and to hide
A E
And accept it all bravely
A G#m B E
With God on my side.
E A E
But now we got weapons
A E
Of the chemical dust
A E
If fire them we're forced to
A E
Then fire them we must
A E
One push of the button
A E
And a shot the world wide
A E
And you never ask questions
A G#m B E
When God's on your side.
E A E
In a many dark hour
A E
I've been thinkin' about this
A E
That Jesus Christ
A E
Was betrayed by a kiss
A E
But I can't think for you
A E
You'll have to decide
A E
Whether Judas Iscariot
A G#m B E
Has God on his side.
E A E
So now as I'm leavin'
A E
I'm weary as Hell
A E
The confusion I'm feelin'
A E
Ain't no tongue can tell
A E
The words fill my head
A E
And fall to the floor
A E
If God's on our side
A G#m B E
He'll stop the next war
